The Phoenix Rises from the Ashes

The impassioned melody of "Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" poured out from the suona. The sound seemed to possess a magical power, instantly transporting everyone present into a vibrant world of birds.

At first, the tune was gentle and melodious, resembling the soft chirping of birds in the early - morning mountain forest. It was clear and pleasant, awakening the slumbering earth.

As the melody progressed, Gu Luo blew with increasing force. The notes were like a string of lively pearls, jumping and dancing in the air.

The sound was sometimes as clear as a yellow - oriole emerging from the valley, sometimes as impassioned as an eagle spreading its wings, and sometimes as gentle as a swallow's twitter. Each note seemed to be a living bird, hovering and frolicking above the stage.

Gu Luo's body swayed slightly with the rhythm of the music, leaning forward and backward at times, as if dancing with the birds.

Gradually, the music reached its climax. The playing speed became faster and faster, and the notes came like a violent storm.

His fingers pressed the sound holes of the suona rapidly. The sound he produced was no longer a simple combination of notes but a grand feast of hundreds of birds singing in unison.

The calls of various birds intertwined, forming a colorful picture that slowly unfolded before people's eyes - a noble and magnificent phoenix stood upright with its feathers as gorgeous as flames, and a look of majesty and holiness in its eyes.

Hundreds of birds surrounded the phoenix, paying homage to it, creating a magnificent scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

Qu Meimei was completely stunned at this moment.

A dense layer of goosebumps covered her whole body. It was as if she had been struck by a powerful electric current, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Not only her, but everyone at the scene was the same, unable to extricate themselves.

They even felt a mysterious force that made them want to lie down immediately.

Everyone's gazes were like magnets attracted to the young man on the stage and couldn't be shifted away.

In the viewing area, the situation was the same.

Even though they were big shots who dominated various fields on weekdays, wielding great power and wealth in the business and political arenas, they were all stunned into silence by the sudden music.

Luo Liang, who was always calm, got layer upon layer of goosebumps, and his eyes couldn't move away from his step - son.

Principal Liu even exaggeratedly widened his eyes. His expression changed from anxiety when an accident occurred at the beginning of the performance, to shock when the lead singer left, then to confusion when the lead singer brought Gu Luo onto the stage, and finally to shock when Gu Luo played the suona.

The rapid change of emotions was like a roller - coaster ride.

There was simply no time to react.

Mayor Li and Director Zhou's hands holding the teacups were already frozen in mid - air. They neither drank nor put the cups down, as if they had forgotten the existence of the tea.

Everyone's souls seemed to be sucked away by that "rogue" instrument. They were immersed in the world of music, forgetting about time and everything around them.

On the stage!

Gradually, the suona solo reached its most crucial moment - ending with a sixty - second "Sound of Nirvana" blown in one breath.

The phoenix rises from the ashes!

This was the Nirvana version of "Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" that Gu Luo had purchased from the mall and adapted by the system.

It came from a parallel world called Earth.

Since it was a solo performance, he chose to end it in such a soul - stirring way.

He ended it with the most popular way in the bullet - screen comments, making everyone remember this moment!

Just to be on the safe side.

[Use the Physical Fitness Improvement Card]

His physical fitness increased from 7 points to 9 points.

Gu Luo's cheeks puffed out slightly as he continuously sent his breath into the suona.

In an instant, the sound of the suona became even more impassioned and shocking, as if the phoenix was singing loudly, summoning the homage of the birds.

During these sixty seconds, Gu Luo's body seemed to be supported by an invisible force. His arm held the suona steadily without the slightest tremor.

With the addition of 11 points of charm, the suona sound seemed to possess a powerful magic, firmly controlling everyone present.

Everyone was shocked by the impassioned music. It was as if their souls were being led by it, and they couldn't help but be immersed in it.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The whole world seemed to consist only of Gu Luo, the suona in his hand, and the soul - stirring "Sound of Nirvana".

The faces of the audience were distorted to varying degrees, and they even forgot to breathe.

Yes, because they were so deeply involved, they unconsciously held their breaths, following Gu Luo's rhythm.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that the slightest sound of theirs would break this wonderful musical illusion.

Time passed second by second in this strange atmosphere. Every second felt like a year.

"Phew..."

After the performance ended, Gu Luo exhaled slightly. His face remained normal.

Then he bowed slightly to the audience.

After this whole process, he had spent all his points.

He had become penniless.

But it was worth it.

For the little angel, everything was worth it.

He was now curious about what the 11 points of charm had achieved during the performance.

Something was wrong...

Why was there no applause?

Gu Luo stood on the stage with the suona in his hand, looking around at the members of the music department behind him and the audience below.

Everyone's expressions were very strange.

Their faces were all flushed red.

Damn it!

Seeing this, Gu Luo quickly shouted, "You can breathe!"

"Start breathing! Breathe quickly!"

Don't die!

Was this the power of 11 points of charm, combined with the suona and the "Nirvana Version of Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"?

It was terrifying.

Good grief, he didn't want to become China's most wanted criminal after this school anniversary.

Moreover, the [Charm Improvement Card] was simply a powerful weapon, leaving no room for reason.

Gu Luo couldn't help but think that if he increased his charm to 100 points, no, it seemed that 20 points would be enough at present, and then gave a bright smile to a girl.

He was afraid that he would really charm her to death...

Hearing the shouts, everyone instantly came back to their senses from that strange state and then gasped for air.

Gu Luo rushed to Luo Shuning's side immediately and gently patted her on the back.

Luo Shuning felt dizzy.

She was the closest to Gu Luo and could most directly feel the terrifying on - site effect just now.

It had really reached the point where her brain was out of control.

Gu Luo was just about to say something when, at this moment, a tsunami - like applause erupted in the entire venue.

The applause was like a surging tide, wave after wave, echoing continuously in the whole venue.

Everyone seemed to be possessed. They stood up and clapped their hands wildly. They clapped with all their might, regardless of whether their palms were red and painful.

That junior student even let out a shrill scream like a marmot.

Sure enough, it was all an innovation of the music department!

First, they deliberately created chaos to stir up the audience's emotions, and then came a wave of extreme reversal to challenge the limits of emotions.

The meaning was easy to understand. It could be interpreted in various ways, but generally, the rhythm was slow - chaos - nirvana!

The most important thing is this final nirvana!

To be reborn from the chaos!

It has a complete story!

And let's be honest, the members of the Music Department are such great actors! Their expressions were so convincing that if you didn't know better, you'd think the suona player was making an ultimate last - ditch effort to save the performance.

He's definitely going to brag for two hours when he gets back to school tonight! Not a single minute less!

The only thing he regrets now is that he didn't record this performance.

He feels like he's lost a fortune!

At this time, the guitarist looked at Qu Meimei in great shock and asked, "Wow! Meimei, was this all a plan of yours and Gu Luo's?"

"Meimei, this was so extreme! You even kept it from us!" The cellist shook their head with a complicated expression, feeling like they'd just been on a roller - coaster ride.

It was so exciting!

And this was definitely the most outstanding performance in the history of the Guangya Music Department, no contest!

Gu Luo carried the whole thing!

But Qu Meimei still looked dazed.

It just dawned on her now.

It seemed that she was just a part of someone's plan.
